Center to Host Support Group for Parents of Children with Challenging Behaviors

The Parent and Child Center at Bristol Hospital is offering a free monthly support group for parents of children with challenging behaviors. Parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Autism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Developmental Disabilities, anger issues, or other behavioral concerns are invited to attend this free parent support group. This ongoing group will provide an opportunity for parents to share their experiences coping with life raising children with challenging behaviors. The group will provide the opportunity for parents to come together to gain knowledge, education, and support, while developing new skills to deal with their child's behaviors. A light meal will be served at each meeting.

The support group is offered at no charge, thanks to funding from the Petit Family Foundation and the Rotary Club of Bristol. Pre-registration is required, as space is limited. The group will run 6 PM to 7:30 PM on Wednesdays, January 14 and February 11 at the Parent and Child Center (9 Prospect Street, Bristol.) To register, call the Parent and Child Center at (860) 585-3895 or e-mail cgaray@bristolhospital.org.
